Making money with social media

Have you heard of Steem before? It's a very interesting platform that rewards content producers with a digital currency called Steem. You can then take your Steem and convert it for bitcoin or any other digital currency. So for everyone that's ever asked how they can get free bitcoin then here's your way!

Steem's innovative idea is to create a network that rewards it's users with their own tokens called Steem or Steem Dollars. These tokens have value as the only way to place ads on the platform is through the use of Steem. Essentially the more people using the platform the more each token's value will grow.

While there are many ways to work within the Steem blockchain the most popular is Steemit. Steemit is a very similar in design to Reddit and acts as a social network that will reward users for posting content, discovering and upvoting good content and also by creating dialogue through posting comments on other's posts.

For the past year I've lurked through and followed some excellent users but more recently have decided to start posting much more. In fact I plan to post lots of the same news I normally post here on there first. Before I get started with that I wanted to do an introduction post there. On that simple post I actually have already made $2.22 in less than 24 hours.
